**Problem:**

45. Imagine the point \( (0, 1) \) on the terminal side of an angle. Find the value for the secant of this angle.

Options:
- \( \) undefined
- \( \) 1
- \( \) 0
- \( \) -1

**Solution Explanation:**

The secant of an angle is defined as the reciprocal of the cosine of that angle. In the context of a unit circle, the cosine of an angle corresponds to the x-coordinate of a point on the unit circle. Given the point \( (0, 1) \), the x-coordinate is 0. 

The cosine, therefore, is 0, making the secant undefined because \(\frac{1}{0}\) is undefined. 

Thus, the correct option is "undefined."
